FOR ALL AGES
Did you know that pigs are actually great pets?
Yes, they can be an amazing addition to your family. Despite how they are depicted, pigs are actually pretty clean animals, mother pigs even train their piglets (this the word for baby pigs and small pigs) to keep their food areas clean!
There are different names for pigs of different ages. For example, from birth until weaning, baby pigs are called piglets. From weaning, until they are ten weeks old, they are known as weaners. After that, they become rearing pigs until they reach the age of six months. Pigs that are in the early rearing stage are also called growers, whereas pigs in the last rearing stages are called fatteners.
